Hi, all:

Is that a kernel bug or just my glibc-2.0.3 in work?

[ildar@isas62 ildar]$ free
free: error reading /proc/meminfo

[ildar@isas62 ildar]$ free -V
procps version 1.01

[ildar@isas62 ildar]$ ldd /usr/bin/free
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40003000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00000000)

[ildar@isas62 ildar]$ ls -l /proc/meminfo
